BEST PLACE TO SPOT BLUEBONNETS



“The bluebonnet is to Texas what the shamrock is to Ireland, the cherry blossom to Japan, the lily to France, the rose to England and the tulip to Holland.”
-Jack Maguire

The Texas Bluebonnet Trails

Burnet-Llano-Fredericksburg-Johnson City
Another great Bluebonnet Trail is found near Burnet, known as the Bluebonnet Capital of Texas. This trail takes you west out of Burnet on Hwy 29 to Llano, then south on Hwy16 to Fredericksburg. From Fredericksburg head east on Hwy 290 to Johnson City then back north to Burnet on Hwy 281. Peak viewing time is normally late March through early April.

Ennis
Ennis is known as the Official Bluebonnet City of Texas because it’s home to the Official Texas Bluebonnet Trail. Very official, indeed. The best time to visit the bluebonnet trail in Ennis is during the month of April, as the blooms reach their peak during the third week in April. The Ennis Garden Club publishes a map of the Bluebonnet Trail each year.
